Embattled music mogul, Diddy has been accused of raping multiple men in the latest wave of lawsuits against the embattled mogul.

Each lawsuit accuses Diddy (real name Sean Combs) of “violent sexual assault” and involves three men and two women, all of whom have filed anonymously.

One of the male accusers claims the Bad Boy records boss raped him in 2022 after he was invited to an afterparty at the mogul’s mansion in Miami.

The lawsuit alleges Diddy gave the man a drink and led him on a tour of the property that “came to an end in a bedroom,” where the record executive “demanded” two women perform “sexual dances” for a group of three men.

The two other lawsuits accuse Diddy of forcing an 18-year-old woman to perform oral sex on several of his bodyguards in a limousine outside a New York City nightclub in 2001, and drugging and raping a 17-year-old girl at one of his 4th of July parties in the Hamptons.The 55-year-old has denied all of the allegations, with his lawyer telling Rolling Stone: “As his legal team has said before, Mr. Combs has full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process.”

Each plaintiff is represented by the law firm of Texas attorney Tony Buzbee, who has filed several other lawsuits against Diddy in recent weeks.

Buzbee claims he represents a total of 120 alleged victims of  Diddy who is currently in jail awaiting trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

Super Eagles forward, Victor Boniface has disclosed that he isn’t heartbroken after he wasn’t listed in the CAF Player of the Year Award.

The Bayer Leverkusen star won the Bundesliga title with an unbeaten record and lost the final of the Europa League title to Ademola Lookman’s Atalanta.

The Nigerian international stated that he’s more focused on improving his performance and making himself a better player.

Not sad, but disappointed because I had an amazing season last season, so for me not to be there… maybe the award is for African players in AFCON, I don’t know. But in general, if it’s for African Player of the Year, I think I had a great season.” He said a chat with Pooja, via X handle

“I don’t need to prove to anybody; I don’t really care about awards and stuff. But of course, as a football player, I want to improve, I want to do more for myself,” he said

The world’s best football clubs will discover their group stage opponents for the inaugural 32-club FIFA Club World Cup at the draw on December 5 in Miami.

The draw will kick off at 1800 GMT to determine the eight groups of four teams who will compete in the tournament in the United States from June 15 to July 13.

FIFA president, Gianni Infantino recently announced that Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami will kick off the club competition at Hard Rock Stadium, home of the NFL’s Miami Dolphins, on June 15.

FIFA plan to hold the expanded tournament every four years. No host has yet been chosen for the 2029 edition.

The 16 clubs finishing in the top two places in each group will qualify for the knockout phase, from the round of 16 to the final, without a match for third place.

The last edition of the Club World Cup featured seven teams but the new version will be considerably bigger with 32 sides including Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich.

The expanded tournament has come under fire for the extra workload it will place on players and football’s governing body is yet to announce any broadcast deals.

Paul Okoye has gone on Instagram to slam his twin brother and former P-Square band mate, Peter Okoye.

This comes after his brother Peter Okoye announced the release of his new song, which Paul claims he wrote and sang.

Paul said the agreement was that he would bring 6 songs he wrote and sang while his brother Peter does the same. However,  he claims he brought his own songs and his brother went and released one of his songs alone with the support of his management.

Paul called out Peter and also called out his management for letting Peter have the song.

Just months ago, Paul accused his twin brother Peter Okoye of going on solo concerts to perform songs that he (Paul) sang alone

Former Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema believes Kylian Mbappe must adapt to playing as a central striker in the Spanish capital, as he cannot displace Vinicius Junior on the left wing.

Mbappe completed a dream move to Madrid this summer after the end of his Paris Saint-Germain contract but has not yet hit top form under Carlo Ancelotti.

The coach has kept Brazil international Vinicius in his preferred position on the wing and has placed Mbappe, who favours playing on the left, in the centre.

“The problem, in my opinion, is that (Mbappe) is not a central striker; even with the national team, every time he plays as a number nine, he doesn’t feel comfortable because it’s not his natural position,” Benzema told the Spanish television show El Chiringuito on Monday night

“On the left, he’s got someone at his level — Vinicius — so there’s a problem. You can’t play Vinicius as a number nine or on the right; he’s at his best on the left, where he makes an impact in every game.

“Mbappe isn’t a true number nine. People have high expectations of him, and he’s under a lot of pressure. This isn’t Paris Saint-Germain.”

Since joining Madrid from PSG, the 25-year-old has scored eight goals in 14 appearances across all competitions.

Benzema, who won the Ballon d’Or at Real Madrid in 2022 before signing with Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad last year, advised Mbappe to keep working hard to adapt to his new role.

“(I’d tell him) don’t give up, because I don’t think he’ll push Vinicius out of position — he’s currently the best player in the world,” Benzema continued.

“Mbappe needs to accept that, for now, he’s playing as a number nine and set aside the left flank for a while.”

Benzema, who joined Real Madrid in 2009 and played there for 14 seasons, warned Mbappe that “if you go two or three games without scoring, you’re going to face a lot of scrutiny.”

Real Madrid are set to play AC Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Controversial cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, has reportedly flown out of Nigeria a few days after he was released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Although he did not reveal his destination, Bobrisky, in a series of videos shared on his Instagram story on Monday morning, announced that he was travelling on a first-class ticket.

“See you soon, Nigeria. This girl bought a first-class ticket three times; that’s over 30 million. Raise the bar for this girl,” he boasted.

Bobrisky’s departure comes on the heels of a series of events that unfolded last week.

Bobrisky was stopped and removed from an Amsterdam-bound KLM flight at Murtala Muhammed International Airport while attempting to travel to London on Thursday night.

He alleged that he sustained injuries during the incident and subsequently alerted his followers on social media.

Following the altercation, he was taken to the headquarters of the EFCC in Abuja, where he reportedly faced questioning regarding claims that he had bribed officials with N15 million to dismiss money laundering charges against him.

He was later released on bail on Saturday after he reportedly denied bribing the EFCC in his confessional statement made at the commission’s headquarters.

Bobrisky’s legal troubles began in April 2024, when he was sentenced to six months in prison for naira abuse.

Although initially incarcerated at Kirikiri Prison, reports emerged that he spent only three weeks in confinement before being discreetly relocated to an undisclosed private location.

The situation escalated further in September when a social media influencer, Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, released an audio recording allegedly featuring Bobrisky discussing the bribery of EFCC officials to drop money laundering charges against him.
